Osimhen was selected as the 2023 winner largely thanks to his goalscoring contributions, as the Nigerian scored 26 goals in the Partenopei’s title-winning campaign. The mesmerizing forward has continued his impressive goals-per-game ratio, with six from 10 after the 14th gameweek.##NAJAVA_MECA_7722575##
